Compressed. Every last one of them. 26 or 28 gauge kanthal. Some twisted, some not. Pretty boring. :)
Try some SS. It seems to last longer, & spaced coils are pretty much a given on them, since it doesn't compress too well. It's very springy, but doesn't contort with rewicking.

I find that if I get an idea for a new flavor creation it is always best to do it when it is fresh in my mind.
Thatz where I'm ahead o da game. I ain't got no mind.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but -- I'm actually getting sick of custards! Must be comin down with something! :lol:

I have a craving for apples and for lime. Of course I'll make the recipe @Kaezziel developed (as soon as my latest BCV order arrives), but I'm also thinking of Key Lime Tarts or maybe a key lime/lemon meringue pie. White peach bourbon pudding is also sounding kinda good ... :facepalm:

Try spacing them out a little bit next time. I found it easier than compressing them, because you don't really have to adjust them at all for hot spots. They heat evenly without too much fussing with them. Also helps with gunking. Typically around 3mm I.D. and I also use mostly 26g, but my go-to wires are SS316L and NiChrome 80. Lower res than kanthal, but seems to last longer for me.

ETA: And my builds are boring, too. No twisted, no clapton fancy stuff... straight single wire.
;)

ditto but with kanthal a1

That's cause SS is better then Kanthal as long as the mod you are using doesn't require a 1 ohm coil to work. Then I don't know maybe thinner wire. The only ones I have that are like that are my Provari 2.5's and I belive my SX Sclass

80's here n' sunny. Wondering when winter will finally hit and hoping it skips us this year.
So while I wait, do I mix up anuddr flavor or just veg.
I'm thinkin' veg.

Combine the two?

Carrot juice?

I've been vaping a lemon-line and a key lime straight up for the last couple weeks. It's a nice change up from the 2 flavs I've been using for years.

Is that only for the VTC Mini? I can't find that special listed anywhere.
Yeah, the email notification just reads 15% off on 09-18-2016, I am sorry for posting that sale and hope I didn't screw anyone up with it. I got busy Sunday and missed it myself, guess I didn't really miss anything.
After reading horror stories like these I only use this for pass thru charging mods anymore - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OQ1CY2Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is awesome, thank you! With all the grand kids hovering around my desk with their tablets this is something I really need!

Here's one I like. All TFA.
Key Lime 5%
Graham Cracker 4%
Marshmallow 3%
Sweetener 1 %
That sounds tasty, thank you!
Grandbaby #13 is on the way. There has been a 2,4,10,12and 13 year old at the house since before sundown yesterday.

*quietly sitting in the corner chain vaping 100 mg*
Congrats on the new G-Baby! If/when the 12-13 yr olds get to sulking, that brief silence can sometimes bring me pleasure! ;)

2 flavors for years? Wow I get bored of the same flavors I change up 4 to 5 times a day and sometimes 3 times in one hour.

I have found a pickle works wonders for waking up the taste buds! When I first heard it I was like Huh?? Until I had a touch of the vape tongue and had some fresh Dill Pickles for a BBQ. It worked.

You mentioned you've been vaping two flavors for years, earlier. What are they? Curious minds ...

The Mage has been pretty wonderful. As long as the wicks are done correctly, I've not had a single drop of leakage, and the flavor is absolutely amazing. The Azeroth RDTA is what they are calling the newest version of our old genesis style tanks. I've heard a lot of good things about some of them, but I'm just not a fan of the genny style anymore.
Thank you, Sir! We're trying everything we can for her... we should hear back from the doctors about the clinical trial drugs sometime this week. If I haven't heard anything back from them by tomorrow, I'm going to start making some phone calls...
I'll go find my posts with the pictorial on the Mage and send them to you in a PM. I think I left them in the Rayon thread (that you can access from the "Rayonati" link in my signature).
I've still not tried the DNA chipsets. I'm still very happy with the YiHi board that is in my regulated squonker, and whatever board Sigelei used in the Fuchai 213... other than those two, I pretty much stick with mech mods. Simple, dependable, and easy to fix if anything does manage to go wrong. ;)
Thanks for sharing your pictorial, that was very well done!
That Azeroth looks interesting, but I can forgo the genesis style as well. Can't wait for the Mage and KF v5 to get here!
Godspeed the clinical trial and positive results for your Bride! Please keep us in the loop, as you are both in our prayers!
We must think a lot a like! I wanted to try out the DNA but wasn't really willing to pay over 100.00 to find out! the yihi was 130.00 and came with a pretty decent mod-able box
I actually owned the Renegade RGX II mod for just long enough to put the kit together, screwed on a KF lite and took about three tokes, then handed it to my best friend who loves the thing!
Have rarely heard anything negative about yihi and have to give them Kudos for actually providing decent firmware with their boards right from the get-go.
